TV Favorites:
I would like to see the name B&W Overnight removed (do they even use it anymore?), but the shows would be kept in the blocks.  I would also like to see it increased to 2 hours with 4 shows.  Similar to what Kirk said, the titles would remain the same in the same slots, but the color counterparts would be run.  For example, the Daly WML would be run followed by Bruner/Blyden era shows when the Daly version reached the end.  Then, the Daly shows would be back once the color version wrapped up.

David Lawrence:
While I'm happy that GSN still leaves a late night slot for the B&Ws, I've been watching less and less, having seen just about all the WML, PW, IGAS & TTTT episodes GSN has aired in the Overnight rotation. I doubt we'll ever see Name's The Same or even Two For The Money get put into the rotation, even on the weekend. I'd like to see the introduction of Bruner/Blyden WML and Collyer (the surviving color eps) & Moore TTTT, perhaps with color Password and syndie IGAS on weekends. But that's just my personal desire for something more to get me watching once again, because I'm just happy GSN hasn't scrapped the Overnight hour altogether in favor of more infomercials.

The selection of SOTC, Scrabble & TPIR as potential replacements is ridiculous, but since the idea came from the GSN Boards I'm not surprised.

AH3RD:
Keep it! Keep it, please!!!!!!

At least showing B&WO is one of the few good things about GSNŽ!

beatlefreak84:
I don't think GSN would acquire Scrabble, SOTC, and TPIR to air in the B&WO slot, especially TPIR.  Come on; the greatest game show in American television being shown at 3 a.m.?  :)

However, one thought if GSN does get tired of B&WO:  show some of the older color shows in that slot.  I wouldn't mind seeing Moore TTTT, Bruner/Blyden WML?, Narz/Wood BTC, and some other rarities.  It could definitely be a place where we may relive that brief period where the 9-10 a.m. slot was saved for two rare game shows.

Just an idea, though...what do you think?

P.S.  It certainly is nice to have at least one hour for the "rarities;" I hope that, no matter what direction GSN goes in, we get to keep this hour, whether it's B&W or what I mentioned above.  I'd better not give GSN any ideas, though...they may define "rarities" as PYL or FF in a few years!  :)

Red:
Black and White Overnight was shortened to one hour not long ago and with Reality coming in, Game Shows going out, it's just a matter of time before B&WON leaves us. GSN believes in New right now, not old. And this block is about as old as you can get. To your question, no I would not get rid of this block. I don't even want WWTBAM up at 3am, I want my Black and White Classics. Late night seems the best time for Black and White shows, TPIR/$ale/Scrabble would definatly not fit there. Even if they were in the afternoon, no show could fit that late, 3am On should be Black and White. Not a show from a few years ago. Let's just hope B&WON stays with us for as long as it can, and enjoy it while we can. Because my prediction is, by this time next year B&WON will be gone and replaced with something none of us care about.
